    Bite Size: How to Lead with Questions, Not Answers | Michael Bevan & Jake Trbojevic

    The best coaches don’t always give answers. They ask questions that make you think differently about yourself, your game, and the moment you’re in. Aussie cricket legend, Michael Bevan, reflects on the coaching lessons he’s picked up over decades at the highest level — and why knowing what to ask, when to ask it, can be more powerful than any instruction. It’s a reminder that growth often starts with awareness, not advice. NRL star Jake Trbojevic then shares what it’s like to be on the receiving end of that approach. He explains how Bevan’s questions helped him break out of familiar patterns in training, play with more freedom, and open up more honestly within his team. A short listen on leadership, trust, and why the right question can change everything.

    Training Readiness with Athletes & Business Professionals | Dr Lisa Martin

    Pressure doesn’t arrive politely. It doesn’t wait for confidence. It shows up when something matters. For sports psychologist Dr Lisa Martin, the work isn’t about removing pressure or silencing the mind. It’s about understanding what happens when the moment tightens — and staying available rather than overwhelmed. Through her work with elite athletes, including Ironman champion Ali Day, she’s seen how hypnosis, imagery, language, and expectation shape performance long before the moment arrives. The words used in preparation often become the voice people hear under pressure. Pressure doesn’t ask you to feel ready. It asks what you’ve trained. 2:00 Imagery with Ali Day & why language matters 10:00 Hypnosis, pain, and what’s misunderstood 17:00 What “being ready” really means — and why most people aren’t 22:00 Pressure as a storm: run from it or step into it 30:00 ACT vs CBT and why acceptance beats control 38:00 Working with negative thoughts, values, and simple frameworks 51:00 Why mental skills must be trained early — and simplified under pressure Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88llj5YVcO4&t=2s Find Dr Lisa Martin at: Level One Psychology — https://www.levelonepsychology.com/ LinkedIn — https://au.linkedin.com/in/lisa-martin-phd-506067a Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

    Bite Size: What a Doctor Sees Behind the Scenes of Touring Life | Dr Bill Anseline

    Life on tour looks glamorous from the outside. On the inside, it can be lonely, exhausting, and unforgiving. In this Bite Size from episode #154, Dr Bill Anseline shares why he built Hemisphere — a business designed to support touring musicians when their bodies and minds are under the most pressure. From the long nights to the constant travel, Dr Bill explains what artists really need on the road, and why “leaving nobody behind” isn’t just a value, but a non-negotiable.

  4. Mental Reset Techniques that Improve Productivity & Performance | Andrew May

    Mental Reset Techniques that Improve Productivity & Performance | Andrew May

    Most people believe peak performance comes from pushing harder, longer, and faster. The science says the opposite. Your brain was never designed for nonstop focus. The highest performers don’t grind, they reset. Mental Skills Coach, Andrew May (Wallabies, Sea Eagles, Tim Tszyu), breaks down why productivity works in waves, not willpower, and why mental resets are fundamentally different from mindfulness. It explores how short, strategic pauses protect performance rather than interrupt it, and how even 30 seconds can change the state of your nervous system. From controlling an amygdala hijack to using breath, music, and vision to reset your brain under pressure, this is a reframe of rest as a performance skill,  not a weakness. This isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about learning how to reset before everything unravels. 1:30 The science of mental resets, how they differ from mindfulness, and why we work best in waves 4:15 Why resets protect performance (and the power of micro-recovery) 7:45 The 30-second reset: breath, music, and state change 11:20 Visual resets: covering the eyes and panoramic vision 15:30 Amygdala hijack — and how to regain control 18:30 Common reset mistakes and why progress beats perfection Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?
